Mega Value Sets at Feel Unique!

I love a bargain, although I never really 'save money' in terms of money going out of my bank, as I usually end up spending even more, as I always end up buying more than I intend to - it reminds me of a Little Britain sketch with Marjorie Dawes where 'she' claimed that 'half the calories, means you can eat twice as much' - never a truer word spoken, and a rule that I appear to live my life by - ha!

Anyway, I came across this little sale at Feel Unique in an email, and thought it would be good to pass on the products that stood out to me most, to you guys.

1. Bare Escentuals Perfect Gift @ Feel Unique!, £29.80 - This set contains: bareMinerals Original Mineral Veil 2g, bareMinerals Blush: Avant-Garden 0.85g, bareMinerals Eyecolor: Crème de la Crème 0.57g, bareMinerals Eyecolor: Magnifique 0.57g, bareMinerals Big & Bright Eyeliner Pencil: Black Coffee 0.35g, bareMinerals Pretty Amazing Lipcolor: Courage 4ml, bareMinerals Flawless Application Face Brush and a bareMinerals Vanity Box. The RRP of all these items separately is £114, so it's a great saving.
2. All For Eve Beautiful Hand Gift Set @ Feel Unique!, £12 - This set contains: All For Eve Swarovski Crystal Nail File and All For Eve Red Nail Polish 10m. Great products for a great cause... you can't go wrong.
3. Tigi Catwalk Your Highness Volume Collection @ Feel Unique!, £12.95 - The set contains: TIGI Catwalk Your Highness Volume Collection Elevating Shampoo 300ml, TIGI Catwalk Your Highness Volume Collection Nourishing Conditioner 250ml and TIGIPRO X-Large Round Brush.
4. Redken All Soft Gift Set, £15.30 -  Contains: Redken All Soft Shampoo 300ml and Redken All Soft Conditioner 250ml. Now I've used the shampoo and it is fabulous, it absolutely does what it says on the tin as it left my hair feeling so soft, and loely.
5. Mavala All Tha Glitters - Pure Diamond, £6.50 - This contains: Mavala Pure Diamond Nail Colour 5ml and Mavala New York Nail Colour 5ml and it looks lovely, don't you think?
6. Mavala All That Glitters - Black Diamond, £6.50 - This contains: - Mavala Gold Diamond Nail Colour 5ml and Mavala Black Diamond Nail Colour 5ml. Another lovely looking set.
7. Elizabeth Arden High Shine Lip Gloss Set, £16.50 - This contains: Elizabeth Arden High Shine Lip Gloss Berrylicious 4ml, Elizabeth Arden High Shine Lip Gloss Candlelight 4ml, Elizabeth Arden High Shine Lip Gloss Shimmering Rose 4ml, Elizabeth Arden High Shine Lip Gloss Sparkle Mauve in an Elizabeth Arden Red Croc pouch with leopard print lining. I got my mum a set like this a few years ago, and she loved it - I can't imagine this being too different to that one.

Will you be buying anything? I have all of the items in my basket currently, but am on a bit of a spending ban due to vets bills for Chloe, so I'm trying desperately not to buy anything!

Feel Unique Beauty Box - Contents!

I’ve had Glossy Box for quite a while now, since the first box, actually and I’ve been fairly pleased with it for the most part... I’ve had my issues with it, a can of Batiste being a case in point for most people, but also things arriving broken (rather annoyingly a body oil that ended up ruining a dress and covering everything in the box with it) or missing completely.

I decided that I’d give the Feel Unique equivalent a trial, figuring it couldn’t hurt to do so... so here are my thoughts on what I received!

In the box there were 6 items, I haven’t tested them out yet, I’m purely reporting back on the contents of the box and if I thought it was worth signing up to:

bareMinerals Flawless Definition Mascara 5ml (Full Size 10ml £16 RRP) – I don’t think this is too bad for a sample, it’s half sized and that would make it worth roughly £8 at full retail cost (although you can get the full tube for less if you shop around, but for the purpose of this post, I’ll work from the RRP), and, as with most mascara, should last quite a while.

Thalgo Spray Frigimince, 50ml (Full Size 150ml £27 RRP) – This is a toning and refining spray, 1/3 of the full size product, which makes it roughly £9 worth of product (again, if going against full priced product). This is another product that I think should last a decent amount of time, enough to get a feel for the product and if it works for you.

Decléor Aroma Cleanse Mousse, 15ml & Muslin Cloth (Full Size 100ml £24.50 (ish) RRP) – This is a product that I actually bought the full size of prior to receiving it in this box, but haven’t got around to using yet. The amount you get is 15% of the full size product, and worth roughly £3.68. I’m not entirely sure that this is quite enough to get a good feel for the product if I am honest, although I have read that you don’t need to use much on each occasion so maybe you could get a decent amount of usage out of it if this is the case.

Xen-Tan Transform Luxe Daily Self Tan in Light/Medium, 30ml (Full Size 236ml £24.99 RRP) – This is a gradual tanner and if I am honest, one I’m slightly disappointed to receive. My problem being that if it’s a gradual tanner, you’re probably going to need to apply it a few times before getting to the shade you want, and there’s simply not enough here to cover your body, maybe even once... let alone 2, 3 or even 4 times. I know it’s a sample, but for me, I just don’t think I could get a good feel for this product from the amount given. It’s approximately 12.7% of the full size product which equates to £3.17 (ish) value.


Jimmy Choo Eau De Parfum (see below), 2ml (Full Size 40ml upwards £39.00 RRP) - I’ve got to say, this is another disappointment, don’t get me wrong... I love the scent (it’s one I am currently lusting after) but it’s something I could probably get for free in a department store if I asked for it. Yes you get a feel for the product as it’s a perfume so you don’t need that much, but I just think it’s a bit much to include something that you could very easily get, and for free if you really wanted to try it out. Value wise, it’s 5% of the smaller sized bottle of fragrance and worth approximately £1.95... or free (sorry, can’t let that one drop, ha).

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer, 20ml (Full Size 150ml £25.00 approx) – This is an intensive hair treatment and you get 13.4% of the full size product, working out to be roughly £3.35 worth of product. I don’t know what to make of the amount in all honesty, maybe if you have short hair it would be plenty, but for people with long hair, I’m just not sure how far this would go and whether you’d see any benefit in the maybe one use you’d get from it.

Total ‘value’ of the box is £29.15 which doesn’t seem too bad for the £10 I paid (including delivery) and the products aren’t too bad, but I wasn’t wowed... although I do think that I have been somewhat spoiled by Glossy Box and their full sized products. I’m going to give it one more delivery to see what I get and see if it’s something I’ll be continuing with or not.

What do you think of the box, have you had one? Did you get the same? Would you be pleased with these contents?
